when people talked to me and said please tell obama this, please tell obama that. the notion that we have that kind of power is only a little bit misleading, but on the security issue it does not make sense. >> cenk: i think it does. i think it does, and i'll tell you why, and this is controversial. but i think we want to create more people who are going to fight us because it is a way for defense contractors to get more wars to make more money. otherwise it makes no sense at all. every scholar, every person looking at this issue says, what are you doing? when you kill innocent civilians you're creating more people who are going to fight us. i think a lot of defense contractors look at it and go, exactly. >> i don't know if i can go that dark. >> cenk: that's zero dark thirty thirty. >> yes, certainly it's a horrific policy. for brennan to go on a clip and say there are no civilian casualties, that was three weeks after one of the worst drone attacks where over 45 people were killed sitting out in public that clearly weren't terrorists. >> cenk: i don't think inter

>> this was two days after president obama had been reelected. i attended a fundraising dinner for a private-public partnership at the ritz-carlton in chicago where mayor manual was giving a speech. there was 500 people or so. it was videotaped. in the lobby i approached him to ask a question. he immediately reacted by telling me that everything i just heard on the speech was off the record, i couldn't use, and then launched into a criticism obviously against rolling stone a very strange criticism for two reasons. first, i think in terms of what he said about general stanley mcchrystal that's factually untrue and calls into question president obama's decision when he decided to get rid of stanley mcchrystal. if you're looking at who got the worst end in the bargain, the white house general mcchrystal or rolling stone. the white house got pushed into a war in afghanistan because of what the general, you know, advocated, so that to me -- then the other thing he was talking about was this interview rolling stone with with president obama which was h

president obama's been fighting back. he had a significant portion of his weekly address march, 2012 on this very topic. >> at a time big oil companies are making more money than ever before, we're still giving them $4 billion of your tax dollars in subsidies every year. your member of congress should be fighting for you, not for big financial firms or big oil companies. i expect congress to vote on ending these subsidies. when they do, we're going to put every single member of congress object record. they can either stand up for the oil companies or they can stand up for the american people. >> cenk: now, you're going to be shocked. it turns out they stood up for the oil companies. they don't work fours they work for their donors. $2.4 billion is the bill from senator menendez that would ever taken away $4 billion is the build up president obama suggested. the reality is at a bare minimum, overall oil subsidies are $10 billion. now, if you include the cost of defending shipping lanes, et cetera the cost actually for oil

obama was using kids to make a political point, and by the way the nra was using the obama kids. there is no equivalence of attacking the first family children and inviting children to the white house for a ceremony. it goes back to the question of desperation that you mentioned. >> thank you, we appreciate it, and before we leave this, i want to make two quick notes. it's true sidwell where the obama kids go to school, they have 11 armed schools. so do 23,000 other public schools across the country have guards. it's not elitist it depends on the policy of which direction you go in the school, and now the nra is saying that the janitors should be armed. you know, the only thing that stops a bad janitor with a gun is a good janitor with a gun. now when we come back the government targeted aaron swartz for simple violation for a term of service with a private company. he wound up committing suicide. we'll hear from a lot of folks including some well-known lawyers. >> i know this case was weighing heavily on his mind, and it was a significant source of stress. >> yes he stole inform

the point is that candidate obama and president obama's administration since he was elected have given clear signals to people that they're not going after people who comply with state law with regard to medical marijuana, people like mat davies. they are going after people doing it illegally. matt had a payroll processing company to handle things so that taxes were withheld, everything was on the up and up. he submitted a business permit to the city of sacramento. that's the sort of people that the obama justice department said they are not going to go after. >> cenk: molly, how many kids do you have? >> two. >> cenk: hold are they? >> an 18-month-old daughter and 3-year-old daughter. >> cenk: what you are going to do if matt goes to jail for seven years. >> that's not going to be easy. >> cenk: how are you going to make a living? how are you going to support the kids? >> that's a good question. i don't know the answer to that now. >> cenk: can you believe your government is doing this to you even though what you guys are doing are perfectly legal in your own state. >> well, it's shoc
